Best boots I have ever had.
The fit is great, the design is great, they are a comfortable boot as I have walked quite a distance in them too. They are dry and simply a great boot.

Way Rain Boots
I purchased the Way Rain Boots because I heard SIDI makes the best motorcycle boots, and I tend to find myself in the rain. Overall construction was great, build quality was top notch, but in the end I didn't like the fit and returned them. I like a boot that is a good fit on my foot, and this seemed ok, but around the ankle and up it just flopped around and there was no way to close them down tighter. I then tried the On-Road Gortex boots; they were no better I returned them too. As of yet I have not found a boot fit I like.

Great boots
This is my first pair of Sidi boots and they seem to live up to the reputation of the reviews I’ve read online. The outer is mostly made of something that looks just like leather and doesn't seem to scuff at all. After two months of daily use no scuffs at all. The least durable part is the rubber sole but that depends on how much you walk in them. As claimed they are waterproof up to the top of the zipper, even with the zipper and Velcro undone (I dunked them unzipped in pot of water for 30min). They are relatively comfortable for boots that extend up and have shin and ankle protection. For the protection, features, and quality they are worth the price. It's true they are fit for thinner feet (suits me all the better), but they have another model for wider feet (the Mega version).

Sidi - Way Rain Boot
The 9.5 US boot fit my 9.5 foot. Broke in fast and feels great. Best boot purchase I have ever made. The online purchase from Motorcycle-Superstore was easy and shipment was fast. It was the best price I found online.

Sidi Way Rain Boots
The boots were very comfortable, as I wore them from early morning to late night. We experienced rain almost every day, however Sidi Way Rain boots kept me dry.

non-leather boots
Ffinding non-leather boots can be difficult. These fit the bill and are very comfortable. I just wish they were less expensive.

Awesome
Beautiful craftsmanship. When I opened the box I was very impressed with the boots and even the packaging was impressive. I bought these after I learned the less inexpensive boots were less inexpensive for a good reason. These were well worth the money and are a true investment as they seem like they will last a number of years whereas my other boots were lucky to make one year and never really inspired confidence...I actually ended up getting a more expensive mx type boot for my longer highway rides as I wanted more protection. These seem to have as much protection as my 'mx' boots but without the look AND are waterproof as well. These not only feel great but they look great as well...I now see why some people absolutely love SIDI... I normally wear a 12 and bought the 12.5 which fits just right. $200 may sound like a lot if you're just getting back into riding but if they last X number of years it makes it well worth it. If you spend half as much on a pair of boots chances are you're getting half the protection and features like I found out initially.

Great boots
The Sidi Way Rain boots are great. They've broken in perfectly and are very comfortable even when walking for considerable distances. I recently went for a ride in the Himalayas and the boots provided the necessary protection and comfort throughout the whole trip.

Great boots
I bought both these and the Sidi Sport Rain boots. Problem with the sports were that in sizes 11+ come in a lugged sole which prove to be way too chunky for my shifting set up.
The Way Rain boots were a nice compact sole and much easier for my size 11.5 foot. True to size fit, I would say - 11.5 is my regular shoe size and that is what I bought. Great fit. I don't think these boots were terribly stiff at all when they arrived. Took me no more than a few minutes to get used to them. They do flex up in time as well. No noticeable over-wearing in the sole yet but it has only been a few months. Worn them on high '80s days. Fine for riding, but I switch into regular shoes at work. In colder weather I'd have no problem walking around in these if I were out riding all day. They look pretty awesome too. I wear short-sport socks in the summer and the inside of the boots are amazingly soft and comfortable. Plenty of room if you want to tuck pants into them or put them over. These boots come up nice and high over the shin as opposed to the Sport Rain which are too short. These allow your pegs to rest against them when feet are planted.
Great boots... worth the price. Highly recommended.

Nice Boots
Fit well, maybe a tad big but very comfortable. Getting used to such a light boot. Haven't gotten caught in the rain but I'm sure they will prevent wet socks. Italian quality, no doubt. Expecting them to last a long time, just like my Sidi bicycling shoes.

Good for low volume feet
If you have low volume feet, give these a try. These came the closest of all the boots I've tried to fitting out of the box. I just had to add one SuperFeet green insole in place of the stock insole. I normally have to add at least one flat foam insole in addition to the SuperFeet to get boots to fit right

I'd reccomend these boots
Alright, I was a little apprehensive to buy shoes online without trying them on, but after reading the consistency of the comments I decided to give them a try. They turned out to be a very good fit (I bought a 8.5 and consider myself an 8). Each time I wear them around a bit they form a little better to my ankles. I would say the fit is comparable to PUMA's so if you can't find a place to try these on find some PUMA's that fit and order that size.
With a good pair of socks, these things will keep you warm and they look okay enough to wear with jeans. I can't attest to the durability, but they don't seem to be cheaply constructed.

SIDI RAIN BOOTS
The boots are well-made and the sizes are correct in length. However, they are not made for D-width feet. Mine are quite tight, and may never stretch enough. Great for skinny feet.

Great Boots
These boots nicely support your entire foot and ankle when putting both feet down to support a 200 to 300 pound bike between your legs. You'll feel the braces in the boot supporting your foot if you don't properly put your feet 'flatly' onto the pavement. Additionally, they're cushioned enough where they'll protect your toe for shifting etc. Yet to try them in the rain, but overall great grip and support--worth the dollar amount Sidi is charging!

Sidi way rain
Great boot, really comfortable after a week or so. A little on large size, usually US12 ordered 12.5 on the say so of the reviewers(said sizing was small), but thats ok, they're my winter boot and allows for an extra pair of socks. Easy on and off, much better with the zipper on the inside. A little pricey but, like anything else you get what you pay for. Would definitely recommend these boots to anybody willing to shell out $200 for a quality boot. Ordering from the Motorcycle superstore was a breeze and really fast shipping.

Better than expected
Really like these boots, now!!!! When I first unwrapped them I almost sent them back, they felt stiff, looked plasticy and I was just general disappointed. Was I ever proved wrong, they fitted like a glove within a week, the stiffness disappeared and they keep my feet like toast on a cold day. I'm in So Cal and wore them today, started out in 61 deg weather and there seems to be plenty of ventilation to keep them cool. Then ended in the mountains with 38 deg and my feet were lovely and warm. Being generally a fair weather rider, I can't comment on the waterproofing, but I can easily see that they will deliver everything they say will. Would thoroughly recommend these boots if you’re looking for something less aggressive looking and logo riddled. A little pricey, but you do get what you pay for and I feel it was money well spent. Sizing is a little off, I’m a us 12 and a 12.5 fit perfectly.

Sidi Way Rain Boot - A+
Most of my riding is “sport - touring” with my Honda VFR Interceptor. I wanted a boot that would have the features and protection of a “riding” boot, but have enough comfort and flexibility to wear while walking around off the bike. These boots turned out to be the perfect choice for me. They were comfortable right out of the box, and were VERY comfortable after a few weeks of riding. I have a low volume foot, so I added a gel insole - worked out great.I ride to work a few times a week. The Sidi Way Rain boot has a design that I can live with while in the office. They don't “scream motorcycle boot”! BTW, I have no problem wearing them all day at work - Great boot! I would recommend them to any casual sport-touring rider looking for a great mix of comfort, function and protection. Buy these boots if you don't want to feel like Herman Munster, wearing bricks on your feet - like some of the other choices out there!

Good Fit and a Fine shoe
I used this shoe for my 3200 mile trip from Tampa, Fl to Blue Ridge Park way. It was really good. Was not too hot when it was hot in Florida and to a certain extend kept it warm when it was 50 degrees up in the mountains. Very easy to walk with. It looks simple so not too much will go wrong. It kept the water out as well, great all around boot.

Just got the boots last week - took them out of the box, then did 150 miles. I didn't even know they were there. The next day, I did 300 miles - and they're more comfortable than the hikers I was using. They are cool in warm temperatures (it was 85-97 degrees) - haven't tested in cold yet. Very pleased with the purchase. Size 11.5 - fits 11.5.

Breakin Period Required
I just received my new Way Sidi's today and am wearing them for the first time. I ordered size 11 as that is actually 1/2 size larger than my current foot. The boots at first were a bit difficult to squeeze my foot into, but I believe that they will loosen as I wear them around the house for a few days and as I use them on the road. My foot fits into them like a slightly tight glove, but I get a feeling of confidence from that (perhaps misplaced) because I know that if I lay the bike over, my foot won't be flopping around. The material feels thick like a good piece of leather, but the boots are extremely light for their size. I think I will be greatly pleased with these boots, and can't wait to challenge their waterproofness against our Alaskan rains in the interior and on the coast. I don't think that I will be suffering like I did this last 4th of July.

Sidi-Way Rain Boots
I like these boots a lot. Fit well right out of the box. I bought size 10. I have a slightly wider foot than normal, but these boots seem to fit my foot well. So anyone with a little wider foot, this boot should work for you. Boot height is 12-13; Size runs true. By your shoe size. They look good and zipper is on inside of leg vs. out. Haven't hit rain yet, but I have no doubt my foot will be dry when I do. Only problem so far is tag on inside of boot rubs socks to point of pulling material loose. I don't know if it’s just the brand of sock I am using, perhaps woven to loose, or it will do this to all socks. I am thinking a piece of tape to hold tag down. If I cut the tag, it might make it worse. Time will tell. Such a little thing to complain about on a very good comfortable boot.

Good Boot
I've owned a pair of these boot for over two years and I find them comfortable enough to wear all day. They are great in rain, cold or hot weather. The weak spot on these boots are the zippers, they need to beef them up a bit. I was hoping to get more than two yeas from this boot but the broken zipper forces me to replace them. Over all this is a good boot for the price. I plan to buy another pair.

These are very refined and high quality boots. Excellent build and construction. They appear to be 100% waterproof, but therein lies the problem. They get hot, really hot on 80-90 degree days. They have a sweat wicking material, but seems to be moderately effective. Overall, they are comfy, fit nice and zip in and out quickly, they would be great for cold and moderate climates. Made in Romania.

Sidi Way Te-Por boot
Just got the boots today 9-15-06 great fit 12 1/2 nice and snug real easy to walk in. So I took my F650 Dakar and went to a local mud hole, with all the rain here in Fl. it was real wet, some spots 12"-18" deep: feet were dry, never got wet !!!!! Also the new pants from Fieldsheer kept out water from top of the boot. Very satisfied!!!!

Excellent Pair of Boots!!!
These boots are excellent!!! Very comfortable!! I use them to commute from work and back. I have seen some posts about if they are waterproof or not and they most definitely are!!!!!! I tested them the other morning when I got caught in a shower on the way to work. I had the Hard Drive Boot by Joe Rocket and I like this much, much better!!!! You will not regret the purchase!!!!
